While unloading cargo, I was standing on the flatbed of the truck, leaning over the standing side-gates, without realizing they weren't locked in place. The gates fell down onto a co-worker and I fell out of the truck. Similar incidents have occurred before and after this accident. These gate latches don't have any warning systems in place to indicate when they are unlocked. It is unknown if this component has been inspected by others.
